This September, RoMa Craft Tobac will release its strongest cigar ever according to the company’s co-founder Skip Martin.

The Neanderthal LH is a box-pressed 4 3/4 x 56 parejo. Like the rest of the Neanderthal line, it uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Connecticut broadleaf binder and filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Pennsylvania. Due to the size, it contains a full leaf of the Green River Sucker One ligero from Pennsylvania.

Pricing will be $15 and it will be sold in boxes of 15 with production capped at 22,500 total cigars annually. The Neanderthal LH is expected to ship in November though it’s unclear whether the cigar will be sold in the U.S.
